Help detaching Zen Nano P

I am clicking the icon on my taskbar to safely remove my zen nano fromthe usb, but the computer is not letting me remove it, it says the generic volume cannot be stopped right now, try again later
please someone help me

Have you closed any programs that might be connecting with the player?
In Win XP you can right click on the dri've letter for your player and on one of the tabs there is a setting to disable write-caching for the dri've. If you select this option then you don't need to use the Safely Remove Hardware feature in the task bar.
I plug mine in and out as and when I want with no problems at all.

You need to install the drivers onto your PC and then connect the player in Recovery Mode. There are lots of posts telling you how to do this. Then reload the firmware which you can get from Support->Downloads.

i have started the instalation and the program asked me to delete the files on zen. (i didn't care keeping the files, so i continue the instalation)
when the program began to delete the files, after in few seconds i received an error messege from windowsoperating system reported error. the limit time on semaphore it's over.) now i have an 0.00.00 firmware version and i can't use the zen-nano because it's not starting. i have tried with the recovery tool but same situation it happend again. please help me if anybody knows something!!!!

Go to Creative.com and click the Support link. Look for the firmware driver for your Zen Nano and follow the directions. I had to do this to fix my Zen Nano Plus, because it had the exact same problem that yours had.
Good luck!

Creative Zen Nano help ple

Hi i'm new here and i'm very sorry if you have seen these post already.
I have a Creative Zen Nano GB for almost a year now. 3 days ago i noticed it started to turn off by itself. I did everything from changing the batteries, to deleting all the songs on it, and updating the Firmware. When i updated the Firmwire it worked fine for about hour then it shut off by itself, i went to turn it back on and no luck. It still wont turn on, but it hooks up to the computer fine. Can anyone please help me with whats wrong? I'm leaving for Florida in the next day, and we are driving and i need my mp3. Please help. Please and Thanks

Are you using WMA files? Many of the problems people seem to have with the Nano Plus are when using wma files. I rarely use wma files on my n200.

Hello ! I?m italian !
I must buy a ?Creative Zen nano plus GB? and i am searching some information...
)? Have the Zen the possibility to load songs like usb pen ? Or it needs the installation of the software ?
2)? Have the Zen the possibility to divide the songs in folders ?
3)? Have the Zen the possibility to visualize the titles of songs on its little screen ?
4)? Have it the FM radio and vocal recorder ?
Thanks to all and excuse me for my bad English !

)? Have the Zen the possibility to load songs like usb pen ? Or it needs the installation of the software ?You can cut/copy paste music from usb pen to Zen using windows explorer. The same as copying from dri've to the other. 2)? Have the Zen the possibility to divide the songs in folders ??You can create and name folders and put your songs in the folders using windows explorer. 3)? Have the Zen the possibility to visualize the titles of songs on its little screen ?The titles do scroll across the screen when the song is playing. 4)? Have it the FM radio and vocal recorder ?Access this from the menu. Select FM Radio for radio and select Microphone to record. To play recorded tracks, select Recorded tracks from the menu. Access the menu by pressing the gray button.

My Zen Nano is dead! Help me!

Hello there!
I've got one Zen Nano for almost 0 months and it never gave me any trouble. It was working perfectly till yesterday.
Today, when I tried to turn it on, it turned the backlight on, displayed the Zen Nano logo and right after it, it shut down. I've tought it was a problem with the FAT, so I tried to format it, without any success, windows explorer would freeze when I right click the dri've...
The other thing that could be wrong, was the firmware, so I downloaded the firmware update thingy (I've done it before, but there was a new version I didn't have yet), turned it on holding the Play/Pause button to get in the recovery mode. It recognized my version and said it would update to the new one. I said ok and waited for a while.
A few moments later it showed the following message "Error - could not perform SCSI command."
The updated closed, and since then, my Zen Nano is completely dead.
Is there anything I could try? Any tip? Suggestion?
Thank you for your attention.

I've updated to .2.blahblahblah and right after it was finished updating it turned off only to never turn on again.
With a battery dead
Without a battery (plugged into USB) dead
No recovery
No USB recognition
It's a lifeless lump of crap right now. What a waste of money. Its only 2 months old....argh.

Help needed please with zen nano p

Hi all I got a new zen nano plus last week and have had a nightmare ever since. I was told that it was very straight forward to use (just cut and paste from windows media player into a bubble!) and I liked the extra features it had over the ipod shuffle. However, I loaded on the software and it loaded on okay, but the media source player went all strange and started to play music at a super fast bitrate. I stupidly thought if I unistalled it and started again, the problem would be solved. It got worse, 5 hours later and after losing loads of music I resorted to a sytem recovery. today i have spent a similar amount of time trying to reinstall the mp3. the player downloads okay however when I put a cd into rip it tells me I have an error and won't play. i have noticed when I do install it it goe's from about 20% to 99% and seems to miss out the rest. My compuetr also dosn't seem to like the fact that the media source won't download properly. however I don't seem to be able to completly uninstall in the control panel . it tells me that setup has encountered a problem and needs to close. anyone got any ideas please - cause i am being dri'ven insane

I use the free version of Music Match(www.musicmatch.com) to get music from CDs to mp3s on my hard dri've. If you want to transfer protected wma files(those purchased one at a time, not subscription music. The player doesn't support subscription music) to the player then use Windows Media Player 0. To Transfer mp3 files to the player, use Windows Explorer(right click on start, then click on explore). Use Windows Explorer to set up folders on the player (File, new, folder) then use Windows Eplorer to drag and drop files to the folders on the player. For music quality almost indistinguishable from the CD use 256 kb
ps.
That will give you around 9 hours of music on a gig player. If you want 8 hours of music but lower sound quality then use 28 kb
ps.
96 kbps is between the two. I use 256 kbps for my music.

Problem with transfer and ordering of tracks on new Zen Nano P

I recieved my Gb Zen Nano Plus player on wednesday and transferred quite a few tracks to the player that night. They transferred fine, I was able to customize the playing order and all the songs play fine.
But since then, I have been unable to transfer tracks to the player or change the order of the tracks. The player is recognised when I plug it in, but I am just unable to do anything with the tracks!! I have plenty of memory left and it isn't anything to do with the USB.
I really need to know what's going on and how to fix it :-(
Help!!!

What error message do you get when you try to transfer the extra files?
Are all files in the root folder? If so see the FAQ.

I am having a problem with my Zen Nano P

When I first got the player for my birthday it was great. I transferred a lot of music onto it and would take it to work out or just to listen to it. But like all people I got bored with the list so I deleted all the music and made another one. Well after three lists I can no longer sync it with my computer. I have tried everything. The USB ports are working, I can sync other devices up with my computer, but for some reason I can no longer transfer songs. Its not like other problems I have read about like man I can't transfer all the songs I want no I can't transfer any songs, and the player has been emptied.
So lets recap, no songs on the player, have tried Mediasource and Windows Media Player, and still can not transfer any songs at all. And I think my warranty has run out so I can't get my money back or get a new player.
Please help if someone can.

You are welcome. I am happy that the redownloading of the firmware helped you and fixed your problem. It is the first thing I try whenever my players don't do what they are supposed to do. I use my Zen Nano Plus mainly for audiobooks. It is a great little player.

How can I get my itunes library on my Zen Nano Pl

I have a large selection of music in my itunes library and would like to get them into my Creative Zen Nano. I also have alot of music on my hard dri've and am having a hard time getting it to load. Help!? Sloan493

Hi Sloan,
What format is your music in? If the music is in MP3 format then it should be fairly straightforward, you can transfer them across to the player and they should work. Where do you run into issues, and what happens exactly?
If the music is in AAC format it will not work, that format is not supported by the player. Provided the tracks aren't protected, you can convert them to MP3 first, and then transfer to the player.

How do I organize my songs(files,playlists) in my zen nano p

I have read the FAQ about organizing in a USB mass storage player, but I still do not understand how to do it. I have a Zen nano plus with GB and I would like to put my songs into a certain order and/or in 'playlists'. In the FAQ it says to click on the folder where the tracks are that you want reordered, but I do not have a seperate folder where tracks are. Is there also a way to make folders to put songs into If so, how? Also, when a song is playing and I hold down the 'scroll' button a screen comes up that says root with a folder in the left hand corner and two arrows on either side at the bottom with no other words. What is this? Does it have anything to do with making different folders? Most of my songs that are in the Creative Mediasource Organizer are not under the PC music library but in Zen Nano Plus(on the left hand side of organizer) and only show when my zen nano plus is connected to the computer, is that supposed to happen? Will it help in making folders/reordering if all the songs are in the PC music library? How do I put them there(the songs that are in the library are also in the Zen Nano Plus area)? Please help.

Right click the header bar. Select "Date Added" to add it if it isn't already a sort category. Then click the heading to sort either in ascending or descending order.
